Devan Richardson

Comprehensive inspection!

A colleague recommended Echelon, and I could not have asked for a more thorough or well-documented inspection! Despite the property's age and its need for renovations, I felt secure with offering a bid and mindful of updates that I would need to make in the future.

Found issues that needed to be addressed prior to closing that were critical to ensuring satisfaction with out purchase. He was very thorough and concise.

Very detailed oriented. Did a nice job overall. He did however miss a couple of items that honestly should have been caught (crack in foundation).

Excellent attention to detail. Devan is very personable and really knows his stuff. He took the time to answer questions and appropriately explain nuances.

Devan was very friendly and knowledgeable, and provided lots of helpful tips throughout the inspection regarding problem areas and how I should go about repairing the issues he discovered. I was really impressed by how thorough his inspection was; in addition to calling out the existing problems in the home, he also noted a lot of non-obvious maintenance debt that should be addressed to help prevent costly issues from developing later on.

Best inspector i've ever worked with.

Very knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and did not rush me through the inspecton. Very thorough.

Devan responded quickly and provided a thorough inspection on a property that had a limited window for visits.

Very detailed in his inspection of the property. He was very friendly and provided pictures and explanations along the way. He was able to awnser any questions we had about any concerns, future problem areas and suggestions. Very detailed final report with photos as well.

His attention to detail was excellent. I most appreciated how he showed me what I'd need to keep an eye on over the years. His report was excellent, as was what I learned verbally in walking through the inspection with him.

Devan is incredibly thorough and insightful. He identifies current and future problems, raises possible solutions, and gives ballpark numbers to understand how much buyers might have to adjust their budgets. Much more thorough than most inspectors - he takes his time and works to educate the buyer.

Absolutely the best. Extremely thorough and very knowledgeable. Devan informs your offer by providing insight into quality of home and immediate, versus long-term, house improvement needs. Excellent - would highly recommend.

I used Devan 2x for pre-inspection. He was very professional and basically provided me the play by play throughout the whole inspection. I would definitely recommendation Devan's services to a friend.

very tHOROUGH

Devan was GREAT to work with. He made my last minute preinspection work and talked me through everything he did. However because of this he never did any write up for the customer so if I didn't have it in my notes it would've been forgotten. Other pre-inspections have been treated more formally with an afterwards writeup so you're not left wondering "what was wrong with ___?" Oh, and the improper grouting, un-weatherproofed deck and not to standard washer/dryer hookup weren't caught unfortunately taking him down a notch and now I'm dealing with them with no forewarning. I like the forewarning he gave me on everything else as it's been spot on and perfectly useful!!!

Devan was very thorough and took the time to answer all of our questions. Really appreciated his insight as this was our first home purchase.

Devan was very thorough and made sure we understood everything that was going on during the inspection.

Very knowledgeable and did a thorough inspection. Was on time and able to fit us into his tight schedule. Would recommend to a friend.

Devan is great. He is very flexible, easy to get a hold of, and is very knowledgeable. I would use him again in the future.
